Writing Across the Graduate Curriculum: A Multi-Institutional Study

Tom McNamara is an assistant professor of English Studies and directs the Writing Center at Lewis University. His research interests include writing center studies, writing placement, international students, basic writing, and race in higher ed. In addition to his publications on Chinese international undergraduates, his recent work examines how directed self placement surveys can circumvent the long history of BIPOC students being overrepresented in basic writing programs. Both of these projects draw on qualitative survey and interview methodologies.
